I don&#8217;t hear them talking about Mr. Pawlenty or anybody else. They&#8217;re talking only about Trump. I can tell you, I&#8217;m their worst nightmare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The <em>&#8220;Donald&#8221;<\/em> is far too modest. He is the whole nation&#8217;s worst nightmare. Trump was reacting to comments made by Obama advisor David Plouffe regarding Trump&#8217;s polling and his obsession with Obama&#8217;s birth certificate. Of course the Fox &#038; Friends folks clipped off the question that Plouffe was asked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Christianne Amanpour:<\/strong> What do you make of Donald Trump raising this <em>[birth certificate]<\/em> issue? Do you think it&#8217;s going to be a big issue in the campaign?<br \/>\n<strong>David Plouffe:<\/strong> I don&#8217;t. I saw Donald Trump sort of rising in the polls, and given his behavior and spectacle I hope he keeps on rising. Because there&#8217;s zero chance that Donald Trump would ever be hired by the American people to do this job.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So Trump had not hit any nerve, Plouffe was merely answering a question. He wasn&#8217;t the one who brought it up and his answer made it clear that he couldn&#8217;t care less about Trump, except insofar as the pleasure he would get from running against the bumbling billionaire.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, the only polls in which Trump is rising are with Republican primary voters. His numbers amongst the whole electorate are near the bottom along with Sarah Palin. And if he thinks he&#8217;s going to get anywhere by designating himself Obama&#8217;s worst nightmare, take a look at some other candidates who have laid claim to that role:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pix\/Campaign2012\/trump-nightmare.jpg\"\/><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>If Trump is intent on joining this fraternity of losers, he has my wholehearted support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Fox &#038; Friends this morning, Donald Trump displayed the vastness of his elephantine ego.
